Book Description

May 31, 2006
From the merely extraordinary to the super-bizarre, the three stories in this original, audio-only compilation demonstrate the remarkable range of critically-acclaimed author Lewis Shiner. In "Lizard Men of Los Angeles," master magician Johnny Cairo stands up against his arch-nemesis Aleister Crowley. In "Prodigal Son," a kidnapping sends a private eye into the seedy worlds of carnivals and Texas politics. And in "Perfidia," the discovery of a lost Glenn Miller recording leads to disturbing revelations about the big-band leader’s disappearance in WWII Europe. The Wall Street Journal calls Shiner’s writing, "Fast, sharp, vivid, unsentimental..."

This recording features David Birney, star of Bridget Loves Birney, St. Elsewhere, The Testimony of Two Men, and The Adams Chronicles; Texas born Rex Linn of CSI: Miami; and Audi award-winning narrator and Grammy award-winning audio producer Stefan Rudnicki.


Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

This collection is composed of three novellas of suspense, each read by a different narrator. David Birney performs "Lizard Men of Los Angeles," a pseudo-science-fiction tale of spontaneous combustion, which comes across as overwritten and overperformed. Rex Linn's narration of "Prodigal Son" offers much more in the way of entertainment. His rendition of the story's various political and carnival characters grabs the listener's attention and holds it to the end. Saving the best for last, Stefan Rudnicki captures the simultaneous depression and excitement of a music collector who finds a recording that documents Glen Miller's murder. The collector's search for provenance, and for his own redemption, shines in Rudnicki's subtle performance. R.L.L. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
